The moustachioed rapper with a penchant for comedic capers, Akira The Don returns, this time with a double whammy. 'Oh! (What A Glorious Thing)' is a pleasantly diverting Daisy Age blend of Mike Skinner observation and Lily Allen's upbeat summertime ska-pop. Meanwhile 'Boom! (Smash Stuff)' misappropriates the guitar line from Elastica classic 'Connection' and mashes it up with MC Marvin the Martian in a modern reworking of The Specials' Brixton riots anthem 'Ghost Town'. Fun but far from revolutionary.
